Start the journey by visiting the Royal City of Yogyakarta (Jogjakarta) on Java's south coast, considered to be the cultural heart of Java and home to the World's single largest Buddhist monument, the ancient temple of Borobudur - one of the 7 Ancient Wonders of the World.

Jogja is famous for its rich artistic heritage and remains a key centre for the performing arts, including legging dance, gamelan music, puppetry (shadow and wooden puppets) and for batik painting, contemporary art, wood carving and furniture making. The market street, Jalan Malioboro, is a treasure trove for exotic purchases, and leads to the Sultan's Palace, the Keraton.

Within the Borobudur historical Park lies one of the world's most exclusive and beautiful hotels, the AmanJiwo - a romantic setting of the highest order - a perfect honeymoon launch pad and place to relax after the stresses and strains of wedding ornganising.

Continue east through lush countryside, winding through towering rice terraces, tea and coffee plantations. Witness the other worldly sunrise over Mt Bromo and visit the Ijen national Park, an area of exceptional biodiversity and a cauldron of volcanic activity. See the sulphur plumes and the turquoise-green crater lakes.

Arriving at the easternmost tip of Java, cross the narrow straight by ferry to the Hindu majority island of Bali and settle in to a charming beach resort on the north coast, far from the mass tourist areas of the south part of the island.
After a couple of days rest & relaxation here, snorkelling or diving the rich coral reefs and drop offs of the Manjangan National Marine Park and the nearby Taman Bali Barat National Park, set off to explore the "Island of the Gods" by self drive car. Enjoy getting lost amongst the maze of tiny, winding rural roads, knowing that your map and the ever hospitable locals will always help you back on your way. End each day checking in to a gorgeous little boutique hotel, set amidst Bali's picturesque, verdant rice terraces such as the Ibah or The Kamandalu.
Visit Ubud, the home of many artists, both Balinese and International, since the early 1920s with its many galleries. Every village in the surrounding hills has its own artistic tradition - one specialises in Gamelan music, another in Lagong Dance, another in wayan kulit (leather puppets for shadow puppet shows) or wayan golek (highly decorative wooden puppets), another in wood carving or batik printing. Sons and daughters for generations have followed their parents in the village's particular special artisan trade. Using your hire car, explore the charming country lanes that link these villages, each of which features 3 temples, one to honour each of 3 sets of spirits that are central to Balinese folklore, and take time to leisurely discover the rich tapestry of Balinese life.

Often you will stumble across a religious ceremony or wedding taking place, with processions of ornately dressed ladies carrying platters of fresh fruits on their heads as they head towards the appropriate temple to make heir offerings. Visitors are always welcome.

Several of the rivers that flow southwards from Bali's towering Gunung Agung volcano run in deep gorges, and the adventurous can embark upon a half day of adrenalin charged fun, white water rafting the foaming waters. There are also a several stunning crater lakes to explore and many wonderful walks to enjoy.
Wind up your holiday with a stay at one of Bali's renowned, super luxury, boutique spa resorts - such as the AmanKila, voted by Condé Nast Traveller as the best hotel in the world. Final days of delicious relaxation and pampering in one of the most beautiful and sensuous places in the world!

There are many variations possible, including some excellent scuba diving to be added along Bali's north coast or amongst the group of islands off the south east. A visit to neighbouring Lombok is also easy to arrange for a challenging trek up the towering Gunung Rinjani volcano, or more scuba diving amongst the tropical, sand-fringed Gili Islands - very popular amongst younger travellers.

And, of course, Java & Bali are not only for honeymooners. Bali, especially, is blessed with an amazing choice of accommodation scattered throughout the island, not only in the main tourist centres and not all of it super deluxe and expensive. Ask us about modelling an itinerary tailored to you and your own interests… and budget!

"Chris, many many thanks for everything. We had an absolutely awesome time: you pitched the level perfectly for the both of us – we loved every minute of it. The Aman hotels are something else –wow! And what a way to finish! Java was a fantastic place and we loved the contrast to Bali. Look forward to giving you a full debrief in due course, but just wanted to drop you a quick line to say thanks for everything….it was perfect!" - Will Gow, Antarctic Explorer, many of whose photos are featured here.

21 May Yogyakarta ~ Solo [B]
Leaving the Amanjiwo, drive past fertile rice fields and sugar plantations to the Hindu Temple complex of Cetho, set amidst green tea plantations close to the slopes of Lawu volcano which, at 1,400m, is often shrouded in cloud. Visit the Sukuh temple, the so-called only erotic temple of Java. Walk for 2-3 hours through mountainous villages and vegetable fields from the Sukuh to the roaring Grojoggan Sewu waterfall in Tawangmangu. Continue by road to the town of Solo and check into the Hotel Lor for the night.

22 May Solo ~ Bromo [B]
Drive first through a mountainous region and then to the lowlands, covered in lush green rice paddies, to Bromo. Visit the Trowulan museum en route, home to a large collection of artifacts from the powerful Mahapahit Kingdom. Reach the Bromo-Semeru National Park and check in to the Hotel Java Banana. Early to bed in preparation for a pre-dawn rise.

23 May Bromo and surroundings [B]
At 3 o’clock in the morning drive by jeep up to the lookout point on Gunung Penanjakan (2775m) from where you see over Mt Bromo and its sea of sand. Walk to the edge of Bromo’s legendary crater. You could then return to the hotel or spend the day in the sand sea area or around the crater where you can make great walks… although there are also excellent walks to be had near to the hotel too. Discuss with the guide and make your own decisions over what you want to do. Overnight at the Java Banana.

24 May Bromo ~ Kalibaru [B]
Departing this cool, highland climate, drive to the town of Kalibaru, situated amidst coffee, cocoa, pepper and rubber plantations, at the foot of the 3,333m high Gunung Raung volcano. Overnight at the Margo Utomo Cottages in Kalibaru.

25 May Kalibaru ~ Ijen [B]
From Kalibaru head northeast to the Ijen Plateau, a place of exceptional biodiversity and volcanic activity. Ascend to the Ijen crater. A fantastic landscape with furrowed slopes, with holes in the ground expelling sulphurous smoke, and a turquoise-green colored crater lake - all combining to give an unforgettable impression. Check in to the Ijen Resort for the night

26 May Ijen ~ Pemuteran, Bali [B]
Take a morning guided tour of plantations near to the hotel, then drive to Banyuwangi, where you can board the ferry to the extreme western tip of Bali, disembarking at Gilimanuk. From here it is a short drive through the Bali Barat National Park to the beach resort of Pemuteran. Check in to the Tama Sari Bali Cottages.

27/28 May Pemuteran [B]
Time to chill out on the beach, explore the coastline, dive the nearby dive spots, or rent a windsurfer from the beach.Diving: The three reefs, Pura Tembok, Close Encounter and Napoleon Reef are all located close to the resort in Pemuteran. The small reefs are covered with soft corals, gorgonians and sponges as well as many fish (sting rays, shrimp fish, scorpion fish, lionfish, ghost pipe fish, batfish, groupers and even sometimes manta rays). Night dives are around the house reef straight in front of the beach. Bali Barat National Park is nearby and you may like to arrange a nature walk with one of the park rangers – ask the Taman Sari staff top help you to arrange it. Overnight in Taman Sari Bali cottages.

29 May Pemuteran - Munduk [B]
During the morning, a jeep will be delivered to the hotel. Now you are free to explore where you will. Try to avoid the main roads which can become congested, and enjoy getting lost in the smaller villages and having to seek local advice on where to go next. Often you will encounter lines of beautifully dressed ladies with towering piles of fruit on their heads walking along the side of the road; this could be one of many kinds of religious ceremony or celebration, or perhaps a wedding, in which case do not be shy to join in – the more the merrier. Usually it is fine to take photos, but it is always best to ask first… even if only with sign language.

You may like to drive east along the coast to Lovina, popular amongst backpackers as a place to go dolphin watching, past Bali’s second city and main port of Singaraja even as far as Amed in the far east of the island. You will pass salt farms on the shore.

There are two roads that lead you to the tiny village Munduk, one from Singaraja and one from Seririt. Both are very scenic. If you choose the one from Singaraja you need to urn right at the top of the hill at Wanagiri and road follows dramatically along a high ridge - the crater rim of two volcanic lakes way below. Stunning. When you come to the tiny village of Munduk, look for the Puri Lumbung Cottages, a charming guest house set overlooking rice fields.
30 May Puri Lumbung, Munduk
Full day to enjoy this beautiful place, make walks to the lakes, one of which has a temple on an island in the middle, through rice paddies, Go exploring with your car or just to sit on the balcony enjoying the nature.
31 May Munduk ~ Ubud: Ibah [B]
After breakfast, set off by car to Ubud, the “cultural capital” of Bali. I would advise making a circuitous detour to explore some of the many artisan villages that scatter the southern slopes of Bali’s volcanoes. On arrival, check into the Ibah, a lovely little boutique resort a short distance from the village centre located on the side of a river gorge hill just above the Campuhan Bridge. Evening to explore the many restaurants and bars of Ubud.

01 June Ubud: Ibah
On foot, or by car – or consider renting bicycles - discover Ubud and the many artisan villages surrounding it. There are numerous art galleries to view, many of them reflecting the centuries old relationship that European artists, especially painters have had with the area. This long standing cross-culture of artistic styles has resulted in a number of artistic schools of thought, each with their own defining iconography and style, and each with their own practitioners and masters. Alongside the painters are wood carving studios, centres where the Balinese (and some talented foreigners) learn the traditional arts of dance, wayang shadow puppetry, gamelan percussion orchestra, etc., etc. Stay at Ibah hotel.

02 June Ubud: White water rafting
After an early breakfast, you will be picked up from the Ibah sometime between 0845 and 9am and escorted to a point up river on the Ayung River. Here you will join up with other adventurers for an adrenalin-filled half day of white water rafting. Actually the river does not usually get above about grade 3, but it flows through a beautiful gorge and so much of the enjoyment comes from looking at the stunning scenery. Around midday you will be driven back to the hotel. Afternoon free. Enjoy your last night of luxury at the Ibah.

03 June Ubud ~ Candi Dasa : Amankila
The final coup de grace! The Amankila Resort is one of those boutique hotels that have become renowned worldwide for their beautiful locations, exquisite ambience and exceptional hospitality. A driver will come to the hotel to take away your jeep.

04 June Denpasar ~ KL
Full day to relax and enjoy this romantic setting and the pampering that this place is famous for. Your driver will return to pick you up at around 1630 pm to take you to the airport. Check in for flight MH852 to Kuala Lumpur, departing at 1920, arriving 1015. Transit to Malaysian Airways flight MH002 bound for London departing at 2340.

05 June KL ~ London
Arrive London Heathrow, Terminal 3, at 0550.

ENDS

The cost for this honeymoon (in May 2010) was less than £5,000 (excluding flights).

Amanjiwo

Amanjiwo (which means "peaceful soul" and opened in 1997) is a monumental resort fashioned out of limestone and takes its inspiration from the surrounding culture of Central Java.

The resort is located within a natural amphitheatre with the limestone Menoreh Hills rising directly behind, the Kedu Plain in front and four volcanoes - Sumbing, Sundoro, Merbabu and Merapi - gracing the horizon. Amanjiwo looks out onto Borobudur, the largest Buddhist sanctuary in the world. Indeed, Borobudur is carefully mirrored in the resort's design and central dome. The view runs arrow-straight through Amanjiwo's entrance and the stone corridor that neatly cleaves the resort, up the steps to the soaring, bell-shaped rotunda, down to the Dining Room, on to the Terrace, past rice fields in an unwavering line to Borobudur itself. Several kampungs (small villages) are within walking distance.

Amanjiwo is constructed from paras yogya - the local limestone. Thirty-six suites radiate outward from the main building in two deep crescents. These are rimmed by high, limestone walls set off by spider lilies and morning glory. The walls blend into the stone walkways that link the suites to the main building and the Pool Club. At the far end of the resort, in a lush tranquil setting, is the Dalem Jiwo - a large private suite.

ACCOMMODATION

Amanjiwo's suites feature terrazzo flooring, high ceilings, domed roofs and sliding glass doors that open onto a garden terrace with a view of Borobudur. Fifteen suites come with private swimming pools. All suites include a thatched-roof gubug (pavilion) with a daybed for outdoor lounging and dining. Interiors include a central, four-pillar bed on a raised terrazzo platform, sungkai wood screens, coconut wood and rattan furniture, old batik pillows in classic Yogyakarta style, traditional glass paintings and a sunken outdoor bathtub.

Suites: There are eight suites in varying locations with views of the
Menoreh Hills and terraced farmland. Each suite category has the same size
and room configuration as well as all the amenities and interior features mentioned above.

Deluxe Suites: Each of the 12 Deluxe Suites offer views of Borobudur and the surrounding valley.

Pool Suites: Four pool suites have views of the Menoreh Hills and surrounding farmland. The natural stone pool stretches from the bedroom toward the outdoor pavilion. The pool is six metres by three.

Deluxe Pool Suites: All 10 suites in this category have views of Borobudur and Java's most sacred mountains - Merapi, Merbabu, Sumbing and Sundoro.

The Dalem Jiwo Suite: This retreat is set in a discrete compound complete with a private entrance, a classically styled rotunda and surrounding terrace with two separately walled bedrooms, each with stone steps descending to the suite's private swimming pool. The 15-metre pool, finished in a green Javanese stone known as hijau danau, is set into the rice fields. The Dalem Jiwo personal attendant, always on call, has separate quarters in the compound.

FOOD AND DINING

The rotunda Bar is a circular salon, with columns and drop fans, a coconut-wood bar and acid-etched bronze-drum tables.

The Dining Room, with its silver-leaf ceiling swirling with muted colours, is defined by a double row of stone columns. At either end, gold-leaf murals recreate scenes from the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The tables are of black terrazzo, the chairs silver-painted rattan with Yogya cushions. Indonesian and Western cuisine is served in an open-air setting. The specialty of the house is makan malan, a series of classic Javanese selections served in brass dishes.

The Dining Room looks out onto the crescent-shaped Terrace, with its banquette seating, brass tables, teakwood chairs and Yogya batik cushions. The view from the Terrace is particularly arresting at dawn and twilight, or after a cleansing rain, when the views open up over the Kedu Plain. Borobudur is directly ahead. Drinks, snacks and light lunches are also available at the colonnaded Pool Club that stretches into the rice fields. From the deck or from the 40-metre, green-stone pool itself, guests can enjoy views to Mt. Merapi.

FACILITIES

Library: The library is large and bright, with a black terrazzo table and daybeds for two at either end. A selection of books on Indonesia is available in several languages, including Japanese and German. A variety of CDs, tapes and games can be borrowed.

Art Gallery and Studio: Regular exhibitions are held in the art gallery. Amanjiwo's informal artist-in-residence keeps a studio there, and guests are welcome to make use of the easel and paints on hand. For those inspired by the views from Amanjiwo, a box of watercolors is provided in each suite.

Meditation Garden: The Meditation Garden is hidden in a quiet corner of the resort below the Menoreh Hills. A stream runs past the terracotta-roofed pavilion and butterflies are abundant.

Swimming Pool: The resort features a 40m swimming pool.

Tennis Centre: Amanjiwo has two tennis courts with a thatched-roof pavilion for shaded breaks and refreshments.

Massage: Amanjiwo's masseurs and masseuses live in the villages surrounding Borobudur. They arrive with open smiles, bare feet, a bamboo tray of bottles and bowls, incense and a length of batik cloth. In their gifted hands, massage, or pijat, can be healing and relaxing. Facials, Javanese cream baths and beauty treatments are also available. Treatments can be taken in the privacy of your room, as well as in the suite specifically designed to cater for massage and beauty treatments.

Boutique: A wide variety of Javanese clothing and textiles, old and new, are available at the Boutique, which also features gamelan instruments, shadow puppets, old ceremonial baskets, jewellery and other Javanese craft and antiques.

Gallery: Exquisite hand-woven, hand-dyed and painted silk scarves, shawls and other pieces are featured here.

Amankila

The AmanKila (which means peaceful hill) opened in 1992 set on a cliff side overlooking the Lombok Strait in East Bali. Below the resort is its private stretch of sand and beach club. From the intimate, airy lobby, the views are already very much in evidence. The resort is close to Manggis, Candi Dasa, Tenganan and other villages in Karangasem, Bali's most traditional regency.

ACCOMMODATION

Amankila's suites are elevated to take advantage of the spectacular views to the sea and surrounding hillsides. The 34 free-standing suites, with their alang alang roof thatching, are fashioned as beach houses with a twist. They reflect the lines and flow of their East Bali surroundings, in particular the royal water palace just outside Amlapura, the district's capital. All suites are connected to the reception and restaurant area by stepped walkways.

Superior Suite: Each suite features a large bedroom with wide window views, a canopied, king-size bed and a writing desk. The bathroom is divided, with a window-side divan, a soaking tub and separate shower and toilet rooms which give way to coconut-shell dressing areas and double terrazzo vanities.

Deluxe Suite: These are identical to the Superior Suites but have better Ocean views.

Deluxe Pool Suite: There are nine pool suites with private pools enclosed within walls, three of which can be connected to deluxe suites and one to a superior suite if a family or group of friends wish to have more privacy.

The Kilasari Suite: The Kilasari Suite, which takes its name from Amankila's main temple, is perched high on the hillside, with partial sea views, a 12-metre pool and its own separate entrance.

The Indrakila Suite: Named after the green hill upon which Amankila sits, this suite enjoys privileged sea views past the temple point and far up the East coast.

The Amankila Suite: This suite includes two separate pavilions opening onto a large terrace with a private aquamarine-tile pool, two lounging bales, sun beds, lily ponds and limitless views over the beach and Amuk bay. It is ideal for guests who want complete privacy or for two couples who wish to stay together.

FOOD AND DINING

AmanKila's Restaurant, located above the main pool overlooking the ocean, is open for dinner. The menu features a mix of Western and Indonesian cuisine. Adjacent to the Restaurant is Amankila's Bar, with its views to the sea. The Terrace, set just back from the main pool is open for breakfast and lunch and serves Asian and Western cuisine. Afternoon tea is served daily in front of the Library, where local women dressed in sarongs and kebayas offer Indonesian ginger tea, Bali kopi and local Balinese cakes. The Beach Club offers a simple menu of salads, Indonesian and Western light dishes for brunch, lunch and afternoon tea. Private dining is available in the suites 24hrs a day.

FACILITIES

Beach Club: The Beach Club is located at the base of the cliff five minutes below the main resort. Guests can either walk to the beach or be driven there in one of Amankila's open-air buggies. Set within a grove of coconut palms and partially shaded by a frangipani tree, is Amankila's largest swimming pool. Snorkelling equipment, windsurfers, boogie boards, kayaks and hobie-cats are located at the Beach Club. Amankila's staff will assist guests with watersports and provide lessons or sailing partners if required. Eight private lounging bales are set in the sand, each secluded amongst the foliage for added privacy. Drinks and light meals can be enjoyed here.

Swimming Pools: Aside from the Beach Club pool, Amankila's signature three-tier pool dominates the landscape just below the lobby. Set into the cliff-edge, the blue-tiled pools face the sea and flow one into the other, stepping down like terraced fields. The main pool is 41 metres in length.

Library: The library is rimmed with floor-to-ceiling windows. Oversized daybeds allow guests to relax and enjoy the wide selection of books, newspapers and magazines.

Gallery and Shop: The Gallery and Shop has a generous selection of Balinese art, crafts and antiques.

Massage and Beauty Treatments: Traditional Balinese massage and beauty treatments are available in the privacy of the guest suites, in the specially-designated massage pavilion or at the Beach Club where twoteakwood massage tables are hidden away in a grove of coconut palms and flowering bushes.

Amankila Bales: Bale Tirta Sira and Ketug Bale are located up in the hills of East Bali offering spectacular views of rice fields, banana trees and Amuk Bay. These balés are ideally placed as a picnic spot after a jeep tour, trek or cycle through the countryside.
